Historic Arkengarthdale |
Why choose Arkle Moor Riding Centre? | |||||||||
| "Arkil's Garth", the valley of Arkil's enclosure, is named after Arkil, the son of Gospatrick who held this land before the Norman Conquest. | When you choose to ride with Arkle Moor Riding Centre you can be sure of a commitment to make your riding experience a pleasure. | |||||||||
| A path through the wood below Booze comes out at Arkle Town, the first village up the valley. But today Langthwaite, a mile further up the dale is more or less the centre of Arkengarthdale. | Jane has a wealth of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm and caters for horse lovers of all abilities. | |||||||||
| Just past Langthwaite is the C.B. Inn, called after Charles Bathurst Esq., Lord of the manor in the eighteenth century. The estate was sold by the citizens of London to Dr. John Bathurst, physician to Oliver Cromwell in 1628. The family and descendants did much to develop the lead-mining industry in the dale and smelt-mill remains dot the landscape. |
Ride for hours without seeing any other traffic - bliss! Quiet horses and ponies to suit riders of all sizes See the wild birds, curlews, golden plovers, red grouse, buzzards and all types of wild animals Holiday accommodation can be arranged | |||||||||
| Past the C.B. Inn the present road that traverses the Stang northwards was the road used by the Romans to transport lead from the Arkengarthdale mines to Barnard Castle. | ||||||||||
| The history of the dale goes back centuries, making it an historical and striking area to explore on horseback, invoking images of bygone tomes to enhance your ride through one of the most beautiful dales in North Yorkshire. | ||||||||||
| A warm welcome and car parking | ||||||||||
| Accommodation arranged for longer stays | ||||||||||
